The INSPIRE Awards Corporation is a not-for-profit organization with the mission of facilitating the annual awards and inspiring the community. We vow to “inspire the community and bring it together; we will celebrate our past and present heroes so we never forget the work it took and still takes to build a community, and the contributions many make for the betterment of our own community and the world around us at large, and we will encourage living an inspiring life by creating future programs to that effect.”

Launched at the start of 2011, the INSPIRE Awards are designed to celebrate and honour the LGBTQ community and allies’ unsung heroes.
